21. Assessment of neurological prognosis after cardiac arrest – clinical and neurophysiological aspects
Sammanfattning : Background: Post-resuscitation care after cardiac arrest in adults includes targeted temperature management (TTM) to mitigate secondary brain injury. The recommended target temperature is between 32°C and 36°C after a large, international, randomized trial showed comparable outcomes (33°C vs. 36°C). LÄS MER
22. Cardiac arrest with emphasis on comorbidity and choice of treatment in acute coronary syndrome in the elderly
Sammanfattning : Background and aim: More data is required on survival and neurological outcome after in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in the elderly. The influence of comorbidity is often neglected in cardiac arrest research, particularly after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). LÄS MER
23. Prediction of neurological outcome after cardiac arrest and targeted temperature management
Sammanfattning : Background: Prediction of neurological outcome in unconscious patients after cardiac arrest (CA) forms the basis for decisions on further level-of-care based on results from clinical neurological examinations, neuroimaging (CT or MRI), neurophysiology (EEG or SSEP) and blood biomarkers of brain injury. Methods must be highly specific to avoid misclassifying patients with possibilities of a good outcome. LÄS MER
24. Cardiac arrest and therapeutic hypothermia: Prognosis and outcome
Sammanfattning : Abstract Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the only treatment available to reduce neurological sequels for unconscious patients following cardiac arrest (CA). TH requires sedation and muscular relaxation, obscuring the clinical neurological examination for estimation of prognosis, and clinical decision making. LÄS MER
25. Aspects of intensive care after cardiac arrest
Sammanfattning : Background: Cardiovascular disease, and in particular cardiac arrest with the subsequent associated brain injury, is the most common cause of death in many countries. Annually, around 6000 people suffer from Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) in Sweden and only around 10% survive to hospital discharge. LÄS MER
